How do I model series counter flow chillers in TRACE?

In order to create a Series counterflow chiller arrangement in TRACE, the user will have to model the
two chillers in the series-counterflow arrangement as one chiller. After gathering performance data for
each chiller (the upstream and downstream chiller), input the required information into this
spreadsheet. The spreadsheet requires power consumed information at constant condenser entering
temperature and at ARI conditions. Tab 3 of the spreadsheet contains the values needed to build the
power consumed and ambient modification curves in TRACE...
If there are several banks of series-counterflow chillers...
The user models each bank as one chiller. In TRACE, the configuration tab in create plants would
look like...

With each module being in parallel with the others.
